The Astrologer’s Diary: 27 May - 2 June 2019

When the world seems as shaky as it does at the end of May (partly thanks to the End of May, or the ‘End of Theresa May’) it can be reassuring to know it’s all in the stars. Have a look at how astrology offered date-stamped predictions about Brexit, back in November last year. How does the future look? Just as it did last November! Extremely bright.

Aries: 27 May - 2 June 2019

The astrology this week is about success, status, ambition, position and mission. The South Node of karma is triggered in the striving sign of Capricorn. Saturn is also in Capricorn, so this is heavy weather for you. It is time to look at how you keep climbing the mountain, or how you stay up there. Maybe you want a different mountain. If you look at any illustration of society, or government, or a dynasty, it is usually in a triangular or pyramid shape. A Toblerone. Only a very few make it to the top and stay at the top - the elite. This week makes you question who and what is ‘elite’ to you and how you feel about settling some old karmic scores from 2000 or 1981 - and perhaps having to settle up, yourself. The other major story this week is your house, family, apartment, household, hometown and/or homeland. With Juno and the North Node there (Juno is an important asteroid - Jupiter’s wife) and Vulcano (husband of Venus, another asteroid) you have a commitment to make. Who or what you ‘wed’ yourself too is extremely important. There is karma here too, again going back to around the year 2000 and then 1981. There is also quite a lot of emotion, though it is under tight control. Give yourself a lot of time and space to sort out your decisions about success and status, Aries - and also what/who spells home to you.

Taurus: 27 May - 2 June 2019

This is rather an intense time for you online, and also with the internet - and communication in general. It may feel as if you have to sort out what you have never really looked at, before. Getting to the core of how you are understood, read and heard, both online (so crucial) and in the real world, is big part of what this week is about. In some ways you must now deal with your own karma. What you created in the past, going back to 2000 at the very least. Accepting that and dealing with it is a smart idea in a week like this. On quite another level it is time to look at how the controls must be shared, with your travel, foreign, publishing, internet or educational agenda. There are some overdue questions here about who and what is in charge. Of course, the truth is, nobody is! You all have to share in some way, and nobody can be top dog all the time. Again, there is some karma to look at here, going back around 19 years - perhaps it was a particular nationality or culture around you in the year 2000, for example, or you finished your studies then. Aim for balance.

Gemini: 27 May - 2 June 2019

This week is about your money, taxation, house, apartment, business, charity, valuables and - intensely so. Gemini, you are at a crossroads and must deal with what you have perhaps never really faced, in much detail. This is a good time to do so and to squarely face the past as well - life as it was about 19 years ago is coming back. There may be old karmic scores to settle, balance to achieve, or closure. Anything lopsided must be adjusted. The reason all this feels so incredibly intense at the moment is down to the Saturn cycle in Capricorn, which can only happen every 29 years. It’s time to get real. It’s rather like getting the toolkit out and finding what needs to be repaired. This week has that kind of atmosphere: Saturn is rather heavy and serious. At the very core of everything is your value system. Who or what you consider to be precious to the point of being priceless. Also, why you will sell out, sometimes, and when you absolutely refuse to do so!

Cancer: 27 May - 2 June 2019

Cancer, we now have to look at the Seventh House of your solar chart, which is where your wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend or former partner resides. It is also where potential lovers turn up. Finally, if a duel is more important to you emotionally than a duet, this week is about your arch enemy, rival or opponent. We have a lot of what Jimi Hendrix called Crosstown Traffic in your chart. The North Node and South Node, signifying karma, and even past lives, are making a big impact in your chart. So are the crucial asteroids Vulcano and Juno. Saturn stands over the lot, with his heavy, rather serious presence! No wonder it feels as if it’s all about the biggest set of scales in the world, or the largest seesaw. You are on one end. He or she is on the other. Now you must repair the scales or fix up the see-saw. Balance is not a dream. It takes tremendous work and effort, but it can be done. As much as the other person is hard, heavy work this week - just getting stuck in will help you figure out how you project. How you are seen. What your brand, personal appearance, name, image or profile does for you. The other person holds up a mirror and you see yourself reflected there.

Leo: 27 May - 2 June 2019

The patterns in Cancer in your Twelfth House this week point to your relationship with your God; your view of the universe; your thoughts about heaven; your inner demons; your particular beliefs or faith; astrology. This week we find Vulcano, Juno and the North Node all making patterns in this zone of your chart. I suspect a commitment is called for. Some Leo people may well want to be born again Christians. In other cases, you will wed yourself, perhaps, to someone or something which affects your very soul. This is solitary, private, intensely personal stuff. It is really about how you see yourself in relationship with ‘all that is’ and it takes time and space. On the other side of things, we find practical questions about your workload. Your sense of duty and service to others. Your daily routine. Your lifestyle. The impact your housework, paid work and unpaid work has on your body, and how your body is channeling your very soul, at the moment! (Particular health or medical issues, for example, are usually a red flag for something you are ignoring spiritually). That’s rather a lot to sort out in just seven days, Leo, but this crossroads is one of several on a long road to December 2020. From that point you will have absolutely finished up - on a cycle that can only happen every 29 years.

Virgo: 27 May - 2 June 2019

The situation with this pregnancy, baby, child or adult offspring is taking you to a crossroads you’ve not seen in 29 years. This may be why it all feels so heavy - because it is. This is also very true of godchildren, nieces, nephews, and youth as a whole, because your ‘heirs to the throne’ may be other people’s Millennials! With Saturn in the frame and the South Node too, there is a sense of the past influencing the present. Go back to the years 2000 and 1981 for some clues, as the Node brings the potential for closure. Karmic, soul or spiritual debts and credits need to be settled up and made good. This also applies to sexual relationships where there is parenthood potential, now. You may be taken back to the themes or events of 19 years ago, as you make good - and settle up - or experience others paying their dues in some way. The other major story this week is your friend and the group. Here, again, there is a sense of a crossroads. Which way to go with this person or these people, plural? There is a commitment in the air - perhaps a wedding - maybe something/someone that calls for a serious signature. Karma will call with one particular face and yourself.

Libra: 27 May - 2 June 2019

You have both the home and career, hometown and ambition, homeland and mission, zones of your chart triggered now. One affects the other, of course, and there is a sense of a crossroads now. You are being sent back to your own past to take stock and see the current situation with your household, apartment, house, and so on - in perspective. It may be useful to realise that this week is part of a larger pattern taking you back to 2000 or even 1981. Perhaps even into past lives, if you look at it that way. You also have Saturn in Capricorn to deal with, a cycle which can only occur every 29 years. Everything may seem rather slow, stuck and serious but you are also learning a great deal about the way life really is - and what not to do - as well as what to offer up. The North Node and South Node in your chart move in 19-year cycles, so with this combination on your watch now, if you get the impression this is a milestone, you are right. That decision you are making will obviously be rather well-contemplated, but once made, you’ll know exactly what to do next.

Scorpio: 27 May - 2 June 2019

Like Taurus, your opposite sign (who may perhaps play a part in your life this week - or another Scorpio) you must now tackle the internet. This also extends to basic communication (just being heard and understood - but also hearing and understanding). We could go into multimedia here too, depending on the kind of life you lead. The microphone or telephone. Sometimes travel or commuting is the centrepiece discussion on a week like this. Essentially you are between a rock and a hard place. Decisions must be made. You’re seeing first-hand how the balance of power works, or does not work, with your various websites, blogs, ideas, projects or connections. You are also seeing, thanks to Saturn, how long it takes for things to sort themselves out! A crossroads choice is here. You will take your time and do it well to be on the right path.

Sagittarius: 27 May - 2 June 2019

You must now take back control of your money and your values. Aspects of life which are simply not your fault have taken over recently and now you must reclaim the controls. This is really about being stubbornly invested in your own principles. You know what you will (or will not) sell out for. You know about the price tag you attach to the things which cannot be bought and sold. I suspect at your very best, you are a model of firm, steady, solid financial mastery. Yet, when we go through the kind of weather you have been experiencing in May, it can be hard to settle yourself and take the reins again. Here is your chance. The Node in Cancer suggests past life karma or karma from the years 2000 or 1981, if you can remember back that far. Even if you can’t, there is an aspect of all your yesterdays coming around again. Looks like you must settle up, spiritually, or make a move so that others must also settle with you.

Capricorn: 27 May - 2 June 2019

In modern astrology we use asteroids and you have a couple of them in your zone of former, current and potential partners this week. Also, enemies, opponents and rivals. They are Juno, wife of Jupiter - and Vulcano - husband of Venus. One is about the pros and cons of commitment. Who or what you ‘wed’ yourself to has a price, no matter if this is a battle or a duet. A partnership or a duel. A marriage or a feud. This is good week to look at how you are setting up your life with this man (or woman). The Node in Cancer suggests karma from 2000 or 1981 returns to you. Perhaps even into past lives, actually. You’ve been here before or you have known this person before. What you do reflects on your brand, image, name, face, reputation, title, personal appearance and so on. This person holds up a mirror to you.

Aquarius: 27 May - 2 June 2019

We move into a week of quite intense Capricorn and Cancer weather, so let’s look at what is going on, Aquarius. For a start, with Saturn and the South Node both one sign behind you, in the most sensitive, solitary and soulful area of your horoscope, you are going to need more time out. Meditation, rest, meaningful dreams can all assist on the search. You really need to dig into your relationship with your God, or astrology, or the universe, or the Buddha and so on. Goddess, perhaps. This is the slow road and it’s also a fairly hard road, but you must take it - there is something fated about doing so - as you have been down this path of soul-searching and spiritual questing, a long time ago. In addition to this, on a more practical note, you have to look at the personalities affecting your day-to-day life. Paid or unpaid work, housework, study and so on. Understanding the human condition will really help you - a little psychology or even astrology can go a long way. There are major questions here about duty and service - doing your duty, performing a service. You also have to look at your own duty, to your own body. Your temple.

Pisces: 27 May - 2 June 2019

The Cancer-Capricorn axis of your horoscope is about children at one end - and friends at the other. Young people, babies, schoolchildren and Millennials - your own and other people’s offspring. This pattern in your chart is also about groups and circles of all kinds. Let’s start with the Cancer patterns. You must now deal with human beings as they really are, with all their quirks and wants and needs. This may be about your son or daughter, some adult children, the teenagers you teach, or a relationship with parenthood potential. The Node suggests it’s all very familiar. In fact, the same themes were there back in 1981 or 2000 and there’s some karma to settle here. The Capricorn weather in your chart is about your friendships and also the community. Everything is slow, stuck and serious. That finishes in December 2020 but until then you have to take it one step at a time. The node, also here, along with Saturn (the obstacle course) suggests more karma. You have something to settle here, perhaps, or you need to make good/settle up. The same could be just as true for others. They owe you on a soul level, Pisces.
